People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

"..."

Looking at the phone screen that had been hung up, Ruo Yemu was stunned for a long time, as if he still couldn't react. He was actually allowed to have dinner with his friends outside.

"Well, that's good. It seems your mother isn't that old-fashioned. We can still communicate."

Yin Wuzou nodded with great satisfaction, and had a better impression of Mutouren's parents.

It seems that if Ye Muching was too well-behaved, basically never resisted, and even never raised any opinions on her parents' arrangements, she would still be controlled so strictly by her family even after she entered high school.

He had thought of a lot of 'rebellious' words, but it was over before he could use them.

"Is this... all right?"

Toyokawa Shoko said with some surprise.

She didn't expect that Xiao Mu's mother was so easy to talk to.

"if not?"

Otonashi Sota was speechless.

"It's just a meal out, it's a small matter. Ruoye isn't going to a bar to ride will-o'-the-wisp. This level of 'resistance' is really nothing."

"If her parents were normal people, they wouldn't insist on letting her go back and eat some kind of nutritious meal."

"To put it bluntly, Ruoye is just too obedient. She's been used to being told what to do and what not to do since she was little. She's always been obedient in her parents' eyes, not as a person with her own thoughts and opinions."

"Then nothing will happen to Xiaomu when she returns, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko said worriedly.

"You're overthinking it. Her mother was probably just shocked by Ruoye's 'willfulness' just now. After all, in her eyes, her daughter has always been very obedient."

Otonashi Sota rolled his eyes and turned to look at Wakaba Mutsu, who had a dazed expression.

"It's a good thing that your mother wants to talk to you. You can tell her what you think and let her know that you have grown up and want to have your own life."

Well, now the character really has his own life.

"....Thanks."

Staring blankly at Otonashi Sota's smiling face, Ruo Yemu's inner joy and gratitude towards him had reached the peak, but she didn't know how to express her feelings and didn't know what to do at this time. She could only utter a dry thank you.

"Don't take it to heart if it's just a casual thing."

Yin Wu Zuo Tai waved his hand nonchalantly.

"If you have any troubles or worries later, you are always welcome to come to me."

"Will you still help me?"

The headman stared straight at Otonashi Sota, his golden eyes flashing with a different kind of brilliance.

"Of course, the Yorozuya is at your service. If you need anything, feel free to call me or contact Fengchuan."

Otonashi Sota smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Wakaba Mutsu.

It is also a good opportunity to expand business.

"Yojiwu...I will keep it well."

Ruoye Mu took the business card, took a look at it, then carefully put it close to his body and nodded seriously.

"That's great, Xiao Mu."

Shoko Toyokawa gave Wakaba Mutsu a gentle smile and was happy that she finally made her own choice.

"Okay, let's not waste time. We're going to be hungry if we stay here any longer. Let's go eat."

Otonashi Kanata waved his hand and took the two beautiful girls straight to the barbecue restaurant.

He greeted the owner of the barbecue restaurant, and then calmly asked for a private room despite the other party's teasing gaze.

Hey, you idiot, even if my buddy brought two beautiful girls to dinner, so what? Don't you know that my buddy has always been pure and innocent?

All I can say is that some people have dirty thoughts and find everything dirty.

"Is there anything Ruoye likes to eat or avoids?"

After sitting down, Otonashi Sota picked up the menu and asked Wakaba Mutsu. As for Mr. Daxiang's taste, he had already asked him on the way.

"Mu."

Mutouren still spoke very little, but Yinwuzou could understand what she meant.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaomu just like Toyokawa. You can also call me Otonashi or Sota."

Due to his bad habits from his previous life, Otonashi Sota has never liked to use honorifics when calling other people's names, unless they are strangers he just met. If he is a little familiar with them, he will not bother to use honorifics.

After all, it feels quite distant to call him by the honorific, but it's quite nice to have Toyokawa call him Otonashi-senpai.

If he wasn't afraid of being looked down upon, he would have wanted Wakaba Mu to call him Brother Otonashi or Brother Kanata.

When he thought about the name "brother" coming out of Xiaomu's pink lips in a voice like Sanwu, he almost stood up.

"Yeah, Souta."

Mutouren was not shy at all and directly called out Otonashi Sota's name.

"I like cucumbers and can't eat anything too spicy."

"Okay, then I'll make you a grilled cucumber later. It's delicious."

"Ah."

“…”

Shoko Toyokawa, who was standing by, felt a little strange when she saw that the two of them were calling each other by their names in just a short while.

It's as if I'm the superfluous one.

Hmm...it must be an illusion?

After a pleasant dinner, all three of them were very satisfied.

It was Ruoye Mu's first time eating out, and she was eating barbecue, a food that her parents would never let her touch. While enjoying the delicious food, she couldn't help but feel like she was committing a crime.

The same goes for Toyokawa Shoko. Ever since an accident happened at home, she was forced to work to pay off debts, and the money she earned was used by her father to buy alcohol. As a frugal person, she hasn't had such a delicious meal for a long time.

After the three of them left the barbecue restaurant, they prepared to go home. Since the subway station was nearby, Toyokawa Shoko said goodbye first.

As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, Ruo Yemu would naturally not take the subway like the poor Xiaoxiang. She had already called the family driver and a car would come to pick her up soon.

Thinking it wouldn't be nice for a grown man like him to leave first, Otonashi Sota stayed and planned to stay with her until the car arrived.

The main thing was seeing little Mutou standing alone on the side of the road, looking very lonely, which made Yin Wuzou feel like he had abandoned the little animal.

"Souta, are we friends now?"

The headman looked up at the man beside him and asked softly.

"of course."

Otonashi Zoutai responded without hesitation.

"Can I add Sota on LINE?"

Xiao Mutou raised her cell phone, with a hint of request in her beautiful eyes.

My goodness, who can refuse this?

Even Otono Zoutai can't do it.

After successfully adding LINE, Mu Tou Ren looked at the new profile picture of a white-haired girl holding a dart in the list, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

I don’t know why, but Mutouren feels very happy now, almost happier than when he was playing music with everyone in CRYCHIC.

Chapter 10 Bassist Joke

"Mom! My sister is acting weird again!"

At the Goto family, Goto Jiri looked at his sister who was originally eating breakfast, but started to giggle with a sweet expression while eating, and couldn't help but complain.

Ever since Goto Ichiri came home yesterday, she has been falling into a very strange state from time to time.

Although the Goto family had long been accustomed to their eldest daughter's various abnormal and crazy behaviors, the frequency this time was too much.

"Oh, this child is really something, dear. Why don't you ask Yili for a day off today and take her to the hospital."

Goto's mother sighed and said to Goto's father.

"Mom! Sending your own daughter to the hospital is too much!"

Being awakened from his fantasy, Goto Ichiri said dissatisfiedly,

"And didn't I say many times yesterday that I was happy because I made friends?"

"Mother, I also think it's time to take Yili to the hospital. Although I've been expecting this day to come, I didn't expect it to come so soon. Yili, Daddy will definitely cure your paranoia."

Goto's father looked at Goto Ichiri with a cherished look on his face and said.

"It's not a delusion! I actually made a very mature, handsome, and gentle friend. He's also the owner of a store!"

Goto Ichiri blushed and explained again.

But unfortunately, her family had already been told by her that she was "crying wolf", so no one believed her.

(Goto Ichiri often posts on his Guitar Hero account that he has a hundred friends and that he's partying every day, portraying himself as a super-yang-jiao.

But she didn't know that her father was helping her manage the account, so her family knew about her online boasting, except for her.)

In fact, it would have been fine if Goto Ichiri had just said that he had made friends. Although his family would have been surprised, they would still have believed it.

But when Goto Ichiri said that the friend she made was a successful, handsome, gentle, and mature older brother, no one believed her.

You're a socially anxious person who doesn't even dare to speak outside of your home. You don't even have the courage to make friends with your classmates at school. How can you make friends with people in society? What's the big deal?

So Goto's father and the others just thought that Goto Ichiri hadn't had friends for a long time, so he regarded the imaginary perfect man as his friend, like an imaginary friend.

Then everyone stopped talking and just looked at Goto Ichiri with gentle and compassionate eyes.

"...Don't look at me like that! I'm really not talking nonsense. Look, I even added him on LINE!"

Goto Ichiri was so anxious that he even took out his cell phone and showed them Otonashi Souta's friends.

However, when Goto's father and the others saw it, they all laughed.

"Yili, even if you're using a fake account, at least act like one, right? Why is there only one chat message? How could the only message between friends be goodnight?"

That’s right, although he added Otonashi Sota as his friend, Goto Ichiri didn’t dare to send him a message.

I kept watching the phone for a long time, and finally when it was almost time to go to bed, Otonashi Sota sent me a good night message.

But even if it was just this, Goto Ichiri was still happy all night and almost couldn't sleep.

"Mom, Dad, and Erli are all idiots! Why can't they just trust me?"

--------

Although Goto Ichiri was very disappointed with his family's doubts, he was still very happy when he thought that he had made a friend and could go play with him after school.

So much so that she didn't feel so uncomfortable with the loneliness at school.

If possible, she would also like to play guitar for Otonashi Sota. After all, he is so outstanding, while she is just a little socially anxious girl that no one wants.

The guitar is the only thing she can show off, and she hopes that Onmu Sota will like her music so that he will not regret being friends with her.

So after finally waiting for school to be over, Goto Ichiri ran out of the school and headed towards the Yorozuya.

Although Otonashi Sota told her yesterday that if she wanted to go see him, she should tell him on LINE first, so as to avoid the situation where he was not in the store when she arrived.

But Goto Ichiri really didn't have the courage to send a LINE message, so she chose to go there directly. If Otonashi Kanata was not there, then she would just wait outside the store. She would wait until he came back, since she had nothing else to do anyway.

Just as Goto Ichiri was heading towards the Yorozuya, the Starry Sky Performance Hall in Shimokitazawa was also in chaos.

"Ryo, still no luck getting through to Kita-chan?"

In the lounge backstage, Ijichi Hongxia asked Yamada Ryo beside him anxiously.

However, the other party's shaking head disappointed her.

It's no wonder she's anxious. After all, today is the day their rising star band is going to perform on stage, but their lead singer and guitarist Xiduo has been out of contact since the day before yesterday.

Ijichi Hongxia is now anxious about her performance on stage today, and is also worried about whether something has happened to Kita. She is so anxious that she is spinning in circles.

"Hongxia, think positively. Kita might have been in a car accident and hasn't woken up yet, so that's why he didn't come."

The unique bassist Yamada Ryo came to "comfort" his friend in time.
